I highly recommend any of the books on this list. They are historical fiction for kids- suggested age range of 9-12 years. There are many historical fiction books available for girls- this list has some great historical fiction/novels for boys as well.

The list is complied from list of Geoffrey Bilson award winners and shortlisted entries from the last decade. All are superb quality.
